Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major public health concern. Efficient screening requires criteria that are economical, easily accessible, and applicable for all populations. We aimed to compare the discriminating ability of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) for the diagnosis of MetS in a Han Chinese population.Demographic information, obesity indi...

BACKGROUND Increased arterial stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) and central augmentation index (AIx), has been associated with a worse cardiovascular prognosis and increased prevalence of angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD). Obesity, a well-recognized cardiovascular risk factor, has been related to increased arterial stiffness, although not consistently. T...
